SEG/SPE/ARMA on Injection Induced Seismicity Workshop

15 – 18 September 2014

Banff, Alberta, Canada | The Banff Centre Hotel and Conference Centre

With the continued interest in injection induced seismicity associated with oil and gas operations, a technical workshop will be held in Banff, Alberta jointly by the SEG, SPE, and ARMA.

The workshop is a follow up to an inaugural technical workshop on injection induced seismicity held by the SPE and SEG in Broomfield, Colorado. Since the 2012 Broomfield meeting, additional possible occurrences of induced seismicity have come into question, in particular associated with waste water disposal and hydraulic fracturing. Significant research, monitoring, and characterization efforts have also begun to be implemented to understand the phenomena.
